Ingredients

2 4-ounces fresh or frozen skinless salmon fillets, skinned (thawed, if necessary)
1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
¼ teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning or ground black pepper
1 small orange, thinly sliced
1 cup small broccoli florets
⅔ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon minced roasted garlic or minced garlic
⅓ cup whole-wheat couscous

Instructions

STEP 1

Brush fish with soy sauce. Sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning (or pepper).

STEP 2

Preheat oven to 450°F. Place the fish in a greased 2-quart baking dish, tucking under any thin edges. Bake, uncovered, for 6 minutes. Arrange the orange slices on top of the fish. Bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 4 minutes more.

STEP 3

Meanwhile, combine broccoli, broth and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring just to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 2 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender. Stir in couscous. Remove from the heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.

STEP 4

To serve, spoon the couscous mixture onto two serving plates. Arrange the orange-topped fish on top of the couscous mixture.
